Came for an acrylic fill and showed them a design but they put the wrong color on my nails and so couldn't do what I asked for. Took 2 hours for just fill and solid color gel, and I had to extend my parking twice because theres only a parking garage. Left with a brush hair in my polish. read more

My friend and I went to get two simple manicures. Neither technician soaked our nails in water to soften the cuticles. They just started nipping away at dry cuticles. Of course we both had bleeding skin after that. The polish lasted less than 3 days. You don't ever cut dry cuticles. They should know this. They also don't disinfect the instruments the way they should be. Not a good experience. read more

My boyfriend and I come here regularly for pedicures after trying a few spots. I always get extra callus removal and they do such a great job. Everyone here is friendly, professional and talented! read more

Came in for first time appt, everyone was very nice but the quality of work was one of my worst experiences. First when I came in I showed the picture and asked if they could do it, because I understand some of these photos are difficult to do, they said definitely they could do that. The first lady painted all my nails full white gel and a senior tech walked by and had to take over. They had to remove the gel that was cured on, which I was also patient about but a little annoyed. Then the new tech did my nails and they came out horrible, nothing like the picture, the sweater nail came out good but all nails thick, ombré was done like a child did it, could've done a better job myself. In addition during the manicure the tools were not taken out of sanitary jar or package. Cuticles were pushed back and cut while my nails were dry, never were my nails soaked to soften. It was painful and my cuticles are cut on 3 nails and bleeding. I am an extremely patient and understanding person but this was one of the worst mail experiences I've ever had. Paid $50. Would never go back or recommend, plenty of better salons in the area. read more

Went back here despite my better judgment. I had gotten an infection from this place 6 months ago, but thought maybe it was a freak incident and decided to give them a second chance. Nope. Nail got infected again. Don't go here. read more

Got a gel pedicure, the shaping was really good but polish is smudged with a hard bump which I guess is from the UV Lamp. Place is not for me, had a more comfortable experience for $20 less in Linden, NJ. Tip: Booking an appointment will not guarantee that you will start on time. They booked 4 appointments for 5:30 and only had 1 tech available at the time resulting in 20-40 mins of a wait for us as techs became available. I started at 6:10 and left at 7:10pm. One left, should've followed her. read more

I've been coming here for years and they never let me down! I've gotten gel manis here that last me super long and they have a large amount of colors to choose from. I recommend making an appointment because they do get busy, but always accommodating. Rosy is the best read more

First time here and had a 8:30 appt so naturally I came at 8:25 and the place was closed. Waited in the car for 15 min before they opened up so they opened up the store 10 min late which already rubbed me the wrong way . Their hours online said 9 so I thought maybe they made a mistake when I called but the lady apologized and said we open at 8:30. I stated to them my concerns for longevity with my nails bc I am a mom and work full time and was looking for them to last 3 weeks. I told them I wanted a gel manicure in NY that is enough for them to ask what type of gel manicure do you want UV or color gel. They assumed I wanted a standard color-gel and I walked out of there with more or less nail polish on my nails. I didn't have a third hour to sit and have her do them so I just had her finish them. Its safe to say they won't last two weeks never mind three but we shall see. Lucy does great but would be nice if they had a price list posted on a wall in the place so a customer can ask about the services available. The jelly pedi was pretty cool. However, chairs are a bit outdated. She had to unplug it while I was sitting in it bc the jets stopped working. Also, I had to hold the chair in place with my legs bc as she massaged my feet it squeaked and moved back and forth like I was on a carnival ride. That was a bit distracting when you pay $35 for a pedi. I'll give Lucy another shot bc I see people really like her so UV gel mani next time and we will see how long they last. ******update! Went back and saw Laura because Lucy wasn't there today but I got a whole new UV set for half price. Great customer service and my nails look awesome! I will be back read more

Long wait and if you are not white or Spanish the n you can wait over 1h for a mani pedi

Made an appt for a mani/pedi on a Saturday morning....... they started 10 mins late, did my pedi first (which I hate. I like getting mani first so they dry while they're working on my toes, but they didn't listen). After my toes were done, waited another 15 minutes before they started my nails. I'm not really sure what the purpose of making an appt is at this point. Pedicure looks ok. Manicure is TERRIBLE. The nails were not filed properly (tiny bits of the file block got stuck under my nail) & tips look jagged. The lady gave my a dirty look whenever I asked her to fix something. When nails dried, there were dots/bubbles on them. Looks like I did my own nails. Maybe worse. read more

Cranford Nails and Spa - Disappointing - Nail Salons Near Me - Cranford, New Jersey

Worst ombré job! My nails are bumpy as well. The gel wasn't even completely dried either and she then blames me for it! The ombré was done w a sponge, it's awful!!!! And they charge $15 additional for ombré (I could do this on my own w a sponge as well)! AlSo, I asked her when she was filing if she was shaping now or later she said later, and didn't bother asking me what shape I wanted and started to do square then I stopped her and told her no I want round, she followed by saying oh you didn't tell me(seriously! Again blaming me when they are supposed to ask). Ridiculous and overpriced!!! Never coming back. Now I have to go elsewhere so they can fix this awful job! read more

I really did enjoy this salon the first couple times I went but yesterday I walked in right on time for my 11:00 appointment, I sat for 15 minutes until I was told that one of the employees had called out and did I want to come back because they were backed up? I said no and asked how long it would take, she said 20 minutes so I waited. 12:00 rolls around, a FULL HOUR PAST my appointment and they finally take me. They apologized but then proceeded to charge me full price. You'd think the least they could do was knock off a little bit or not charge me the full upcharge for a design on every nail after having to wait an hour past my appointment time. $65 is entirely too much to begin with, let alone to charge someone after they waited an hour past their appointment time, an appointment they had made days earlier. read more

I have absolutely no complaints. This place was marvelous. I came in with my toes looking so bad...its been a long time since I got a professional pedicure. The staff was so friendly and calm. It actually feels like a spa. The place is spotless and modern. There is ventilation so unlike most places I've been I don't smell and chemical fumes. The staff was polite and attentive and made sure I got what I was expecting. The whole experience was very relaxing. I came at about 6pm and was seen right away. My toes look soooo pretty now They take credit but don't have credit tips. I only had $2 cash on me and feel bad because she did an excellent job I will definitely be back next week for a manicure. read more

Cranford Nails and Spa - They came out perfect - Nail Salons Near Me - Cranford, New Jersey

Worst nail experience in my life. It was really that bad. 3.5 hours and 3 different girls worked on me just to get a gel manicure and some tips done and they they cut me because they didn't know what they were doing. My finger was bleeding the whole time and there was blood coming out every few mins and they just put some sort of product on it without even sanitizing it although I asked them to STOP REPEATEDLY to stop working on that finger! But I guess they didn't even understand what I was saying. the nail shape was so short and the opposite of my request and the picture I showed them - I had asked for long coffin nails and they gave me short stubby stilettos! they didn't even apologize or give me a refund because I asked her to stop But she kept on going. Horrible unprofessional staff and awful experience i actually cried. Anyone who actually gets her nails done at least every two weeks knows exactly what a nail technician should and should be doing on her own nails and I've been getting my nails done for years and in several countries, but don't tell me that each technician is different because being a professional and a technique should be universal. I definitely will never come here again and no one else should if they value the quality of their nails. Absolute waste of money. read more

Ladies were very friendly and my gel mani is nice and even. Massage after mani was great and I almost fell asleep. Gel grands included Essie, opi, ibd, and gelish. What I'm really looking for is for the gel mani to stay and since it's only been a day I can't yet say whether it will chip. I will update this review to 5 stars if it lasts in about a week! Thanks ladies! ***Overdue Update: gel mani stayed 2.5-3 weeks. read more

I would not recommend this place! Sanitary measure are almost non existent. I did not witness them using the sanitary plastic for all customers when doing pedicures which even salon in the hood know to use. They do not soak their manicure instruments to prevent infection spread they simply spritz quickly with alcohol. Manicure was ok but tech did not take time to remove hairs and my nails are not shaped well. Second time back and again when I got home realized they cut my toe during the pedicure it didn't bleed this time like it did last time. Felt compelled to share to prevent spread of infections. read more

Haven't been coming here for that long but my experience so far - Pedicure - A++ ! They deff dig into all that nastiness ! My feet feel and look amazing after i leave there Hands - i've gotten a gel manicure that didn't last & recently got tips before my vacation . The tips themselves were fine . * I'm not sure how to tell if a nail polish has gotten bad but my last visit i used an opi nail polish & stayed there purposely for at least 30mins under the little fan because i knew i wanted them perfect for vacation . I got them done the same day i was leaving , an hour , two , three , five , six , ten hours later and my nails were still not fully dry - there were marks everywhere from moving around so much of course . The amount i paid i would've thought i could have good nailpolish . read more

Been going here for a few months and here are my pros/cons: Pros: -they're very nice (I don't understand Spanish so I'm blissfully ignorant otherwise haha) -they do a good job with gels -they almost always have time for you without an appointment -they paint your nails all the way down to the cuticle so it lasts almost a month before you have to redo your gels -price is fair Cons: -they always cut my big toe nails into very weird shapes. Once it was this crazy diagonal where the one side was so low I thought I'd get an ingrown. I clipped them at home to avoid that and I just left and they filed my one toe nail to a weird concave shape -they hurt your cuticles so much - always make my cuticles bleed with clippers and digging too hard and they're always so rough on cuticles with a file too -when I tried their non OPI gel (forgot the name) it barely lasted 2wks before it all peeled off I should probably give them a 4 given the fact that I'm going to keep going to them but that's mainly due to convenience so I'm keeping it at a 3 because I recommended them to a friend and she left saying her cuticles were treated so roughly and she didn't want to go back so it's not just me read more

Went on a Saturday around noon with my young cousin...didn't have an appointment so I knew there would be a wait. Understandable...they were very nice and greeted you at the door..like one of them walked up from their seat to say hello and greet you. I like that. Had to wait about 20 mins for my cousin to get started and then an additional 10 for me. I was a little impatient as time went on BUT the Tech who did my nails apologized profusely and said 2 additional techs who normally work on Saturdays could not come in. I really liked how she explained things to me instead of just assuming. Good job and very reasonable for basic manicure. Salon is very clean but a bit small. I live over 20 mins drive away but would consider going back, they are so good and nice! read more

I'm not one to get my nails done very often but these ladies have made me a regular. From the cleanliness to the attention to detail- they're great. The first time there I was getting an acrylic set and was almost done when she decided to take one nail off and restart because she didn't like how it came out... When typically other places would've just kept filing the nail down until they figured it out. They also went to put extra money on the meter for me which was very helpful. Overall great experience and would definitely recommend. read more

Id probably categorize myself as a picky person when it comes to nails. I've been getting my nails done for about 15 years. Usually pink and white or acrylic. I always liked the crazy designs and I always paid attention to whether they lasted because my hands are in water frequently. I decided to get my nails taken off to breathe for a little since its been years since I've done so. Usually, whenever I've gotten a new set or had them taken off before, they'd pull them off or "rip" them off. I was rarely ever made to soak. I own a business in Garwood and I decided to go to this place because it had good reviews and it was close. I was BLOWN AWAY. Granted, they didn't do pink and white acrylics; but I wasn't there for that anyway so it didn't bother me. I was there to get my nails removed. Previously, I was always told that I wasn't able to get my nails painted after getting them removed because my nails would be too thin. The girl who did my Nike, Lucy, took her time, rolled each finger with a cotton swab and acetone in tin foil and went nail by nail (multiple times) to sand my old acrylic off. After which, she cut my nails down, filed them, and dremeled them. I figured if ask if it was possible to paint them. She said yes. I was a bit surprised because I figured she'd say no. But she did a gel manicure and I couldn't be happier with the result. They don't feel as thin and paper-like as I remember them feeling previously and with the gel, i feel like I helped strengthen them. They do an amazing job and I will definitely be visiting them every two weeks for a manicure to keep up with my natural nails. Lucy and Cranford Nails totally made my day and I HIGHLY recommend them. read more

I just got my nails done here this past weekend & it was such a great experience. Also FYI they open at 8:30AM on Saturdays & they were empty until about 11AM.

Also, the free massage while your nails dry didn't hurt read more

I went to Angel Tips for a pedi because I was waiting for someone in Garwood. Worst decision ever! First she kept trying to talk me into a $45 green tea pedi.
